Yes it looks like the ad people were planning ahead! :-)
It would be nice if their production people would of taken the hint
from a year ago when they ran out of V8's and known that 5.9 liter
motors would be in demand. Somehow I think GM would ramp up
production to "make the problem go away". CC appears to make a
forecast(bad) and stick with the results. I don't paticularly like
GM's current offerings (can't compare against Dak and that's why I
got one) but I don't think GM will be sleeping long. When the iron is
hot you gotta strike and this is lost sales for CC (you can't keep
telling people to "wait" if they got money to spend NOW).
